    34 degrees stock compression for high cr u have to start fighting knock and etc and that high cr was used with iron heads the max you can get out of iron heads in most applications is around 11:1 we could of pushed it past 38 degrees but the block saw no power change after 35 degrees so we kept it at 34 and hyper pistons his tune better be good, cause once he gets some knock those pistons will shatter I've shatter 5 hyper pistons b4 from a bad linkage to the secondary butterflys on the carb b4

    I've got a 13:1 iron-headed 460 in a 83 cougar that runs just fine. Plenty of people run more than 11:1 with iron heads. It's called race gas. And please explain how a bad secondary linkage caused your pistons to shatter.
